Good schools.

Before investing in any area, conduct thorough research, consult with local real estate professionals, and assess factors like job growth, crime rates, school quality, and demographic trends.

There's an entire semester-long course in law school called Civil Procedure (the absolute worst - *shudders with fright at the memories*) about figuring out the answer to that question based on the facts.

What about a In-Person Note School or Training Course?
